A Sept. 27 shooting on the Auraria Campus left one man with a gunshot wound to the foot and another in jail charged with aggravated assault.

Dominique Wortham, 21, a Community College ofDenver student and Denver resident, is being held in the Denver County Jail on a charge of aggravated assault in connection with the shooting of Calvin McGee, 21, of Denver. Bail has been set at $250,000.

According to the Denver Police Department offense report, McGee, whose campus ties remain unclear, told officers that "all persons involved were at a meeting of the Black Student Alliance at (the) Community College of Denver when he and the suspects became involved in a shoving match."

Besides Wortham, former CCD student

Keith Brown of Denver was ordered in for questioning and rele;tSed. At approximately 4 p.m. , Auraria Public Safety received a report of a fight in progress outside of the Student Union. Sgt: Jim Ferguson, Auraria Public Safety public information officer, said that there was no fight at the reported location.

Officers located a red Toyota parked on the sidewalk by the South Oassroom Building, and four students standing close to the building.

Ferguson said that he approached the owner of the car, who identified himself as one of the people involved in the fight earlier at the Student Union. He told Ferguson the people involved were trying to resolve their differences.

"Dominique (Wortham) was involved in the shoving match that was called out at the student center and that's what we responded on," Ferguson said.

APS officers, unaware the shooting had already occurred, detained no one.

The police report stated that McGee told

police that he and Wortham "have had a long-standing dislike for one another as a result of earlier confrontations involving firearms."

According to the police report, Wortham and Brown produced unknown caliber handguns outside South Classroom Building when another argument erupted.

Three to four rounds were fired from Wortham's small-caliber handgun. One bullet entered McGee's left ankle and exited through his heel.

McGee made his own arrangements for medical treatment after Denver General Hospital ambulance technicians determined the wound was not life threatening.

"We have since suspended the student (Wortham) pending investigation of our office. . and from any student organizations or functions on campus," George Gallegos, vice president ofStudent Services at CCD, said.

David Windom, 21, McGee's roommate and a witness to the shooting, later said that the BSA was not involved, but refused to comment on the incident. 0

On June 29, Metropolitan State College of Denver announced a program that will offer cash incentives to departments that hire minority faculty.

In recent weeks, that action has come under fire from both a tenured, hispanic MSCD faculty member and "The Rocky Mountain News."

The program, which was designed to increase both the numbers and percentages of minority faculty members at MSCD, was addressed in an Oct. 1 inter-office memo from Lou Talman, an assistant professor in the department of mathematical sciences (see pg. lO ).

Talman called the school policy of providing $5,000 to departments that hire " ethnic " faculty "nothing more than racism, sexism, or whatever the analogous term derived from 'ethnic' might be."

He went on to add that "These prescriptions for ' balance' demean and insult both those they discriminate in favor of and those they discriminate against."

In a Sept. 21 "Rocky Mountain News" commentary, Editorial Page Editor Vincent Carroll said that MSCD no longer has aright 路 to call itself an equal opportunity employer and that the school should be sued for false advertisement if it makes such a claim.

Meanwhile, MSCD is actively pursuing its new policy which includes creating positions in departments that are " underutilized" for ethnic faculty , even if that department does not have an opening.

Larry Johnson, dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences, said that the LAS is sending faculty members to recruit potential professors in cities with higher numbers of black candidates.

"We are looking for black teachers to compete with the whites for the same job," Johnson said. "We are not guaranteeing anybody any job because of their race.

"This is a touchy issue because we want the best qualified teachers for the job."

The third part of the policy allows a departmenttoprovideamaximumof$8,000 a year for as many as five years for an ethnic candidate to finish their advanced degree. anglo candidates are not eligible for this stipend.

"An essential part of improving the multicultural diversity at MSCD is an increase in the number of ethinc faculty," Thomas Brewer, MSCD president said in June. 0

The Associated Students of !Metropolitan State College of !Denver Student Senate has started ianother term, and problems are !following.

As a member of the executive branch, A. Scott Gassmann, chief pf staff, said, "I've been here for lhree terms and the executive lbranch and the senate have always bad a conflict between them."

The biggestproblem the senate 路s faced with is an uncooperative executive branch. Sen. David Beal

All bills the senate passes must go through the executive branch, this is where problems are occurring. Rules Committee Chair Gerri Madrid said, " Any good idea that the senate comes up with is contested by Dan [Holden] because he wants to be creating everything."

This constant battle in student government makes for a lot ofwork and very few accomplishments.

Many senators have stopped attending meetings, some have been fired for missing meetings. This makes senate work even more difficult. "When the senate can't meet quorum (minimum necessary attendance to vote), they can't function as a legislative body, and Dan

[Holden] and the executive branch can spend $56,000 any way they see fit, hopefully in the students' best interests," Madrid said.

Hate mail has found its way into senators' office boxes. Madrid said she has received racially oriented, offensive cartoons. The mail has been forwarded to the administration and steps are being taken to find the source. ''The senate is trying to rebuild and go forward. There are many important issues being pushed through," Beal said.

Madrid said, "We need some concerned students - concerned about where their $42 student fees are being spent. They must also be dedicated."

Two Metropolitan State College of Denver seniors and one graduate were sent to Saudi Arabia last month to join Operation Desert Shield. The three are members of the Colorado Army National Guard's l 158th Transportation Detachment.

Graduate Christopher Dan Padilla, 32, and seniors Rodney Gomez, 36, and Charles Garcia, 28, were called to duty Aug: 27.

They left Denver Sept. 6 and arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Sept. 9. All three guardsmen are Metro criminal justice majors.

According to Walt Copley, Ph.D. and associate professor of MSCD's criminal justice and criminology department, the detachment was originally sent to a Saudi Arabian air force installation, but it may have already been

'BikeToberfest' a rolling success

moved to another location. Copley said the battalion provides support for combat units, and the assignment includes transportation logistics and positioning military equipment.

Sgt. Padilla, who graduated from Metro in May, was interviewing with several employers when he was called to duty. His wife, Denise, 29, is a sophomore at Metro who plans to major in English. They have a 16-month-old daughter, Nicolette.

Spec. 4 Gomez, a gang-unit investigator for the Denver District Attorney's Office, had just one class to go before graduating when he was called to duty. His wife, Debbie, 32, is a deputy sheriff for Arapahoe County. They have a 7month-old son named Dakota.

Sgt. Garcia was working as a Denver-based U.S. deputy marshal when he was activated for duty. He has two daughters, 19month-old Monica and 6-year-old Danielle.

Because of where they are sta-

tioned, the American military personnel have very little access to news. And as a result, one of their worst enemies right now is the feeling of being isolated, Debbie Gomez said.

She said that the men would appreciate hearing from Auraria students in letters on paper, audio cassette or video tape. Some of the guardsmen in the detachment took cassette players, televisions and VCR equipment with them to the desert.

"They would love receiving anything because they are not getting any news," she said. Books, games, taped movies and television programs would be welcomed, but any news on campus, local , state and national levels would be especially appreciated.

The only restriction on packages sent to Americans in Saudi Arabia are that they do not contain pork, alcohol, guns or pornography, she said.

Mellie Garcia, Sgt. Garcia's mother, said her son would be in-

terested in receiving news abou sports - especially football, bas ketball and baseball. He is a Bron cos fan.

Mrs. Padilla said her husband is interested in current events plus news about the Broncos, body building and any probation-officer job prospects.

Padilla said the three men also want to know whether people sup port their efforts in the Persian Gulf crisis.

"Some people are opposed to them being there," Mrs. Padilla said. "The public doesn't want it to be like another Vietnam."

Some of the Americans sta tioned in Saudi Arabia are con cerned that when they come home their reception might be as cold as it was for Vietnam veterans, she said.

Man counting money robbed in Lot E A robbery occurred at approximately 8:30p.m. Sept. 24 in Lot E of the Auraria Campus.

The victim, Brian Fulkerson, told Auraria Public Safety that he was walking across the lot at 1455 7th St. to his car, counting some money when someone approached him from behind, grabbed the money and pushed Fulkerson to the ground.

Fulkerson was unable to give any description of the assailant and didn't know which way the

assailant fled. There are no reported witnesses to the robbery.

No further action has been taken at this time by APS. If anyone was in Lot E or has any information pertaining to the robbery, please contact APS.

Whatever it is, Celia Romero reported to APS that she found a white, touch-tone phone in the custodial office of the North Classroom Building. The APS report states that the phone " appeared" sometime after 7 a.m. on Sept. 22.

Auraria alters smoking plan, more changes possible Kristi James The Metropolitan

Two buildings on Auraria Campus have new smoking policies which took effect Oct. l, the same day smoking bans began in Denver city buildings.

The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board passed a resolution that prohibits smoking in the Technology Building and reduces the smoking area in the Student Union. Smoking will be limited to the southeast comer of the cafeteria.

According to Angie Binder, chair of SACAB, the big factor was the poor ventilation in these areas. She added that the committee has no comprehensive plan in regards to the smoking issue. "It is a real tough issue. Smoking areas all over campus are not only used by students, but faculty and visitors," Binder said.

The ban on smoking in the Denver city buildings has no effect on the state-owned AurariaHigher Education Center. Gov. Roy Romer has an executive order on his desk that would prohibit smoking in all stateowned and leased buildings.

Doreen Archuleta, executive assistant legal director in the governor's office, said the proposed order has not yet been signed, and she was unsure when it would be reviewed and whether or not Romer would accept it.

Since Romer has not yet signed the proposed order, the executive order issued in

1985 under Gov. Richard Lamm' s administration is still in effect. That order permitted smoking only in designated areas, which is how Auraria is currently operating.

SACAB is looking into proposing a campus-wide referendum banning smoking but they have been waiting to see what action the governor will take. Binder said that SACAB only has jurisdiction over student bond funded areas, so the committee could encounter problems with a referendum on all buildings.

The Office of Disabled Services has begun a campaign to educate students on the adverse impacts of smoking. They have begun to distribute informational packets on the effects of smoking at the Auraria Campus.

Dean Wolf, directorofthe Physical Plant, estimated that $35,000 a year is spent on indoor clean-up and repairs from smoking on campus, and $20,000 is spent on smoking related clean-up outside.

One of the events during Handicap Awareness Days (Oct. 15-19) will be an Oct15 debate on Smokers Rights vs. Non Smokers Rights, which is sponsored by Disabled Services. The debate will address the issue of the constitutional rights involving the smoking issue.

According to Carolyn Culver, advising coordinator in the Office of Information and Referral, Housing, and Disability Services, 15 percent of the population have reactions such as allergies to second hand smoke.

Culver said this is a concern of disability

Prof predicts war in Persian Gulf

By Cheryl Suazo The Metropolitan

A Metropolitan State College of Denver associate professor who saw three students from his department sent to Saudi Arabia lastmonthwiththeColoradoNationalGuard, said he thinks fighting will erupt in the Middle East before Christmas.

"I can't see us hanging around much more than ariother month before some military movement takes place," said Walt Copley, Ph.D. and associate professor of MSCD's criminal justice and criminology department. "I think we will be fighting by Christmas and out by spring."

Copley was a captain with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations until 1976 when he retired. The office, which was the criminal investigative arm of the Air Force, was made up of about 100 Air Force personnel stationed around the world. The group gathered intelligence information on Air Force members who were suspected of espionage or other criminal activity.

Copley began teaching at Metro in 1981.

.

.

Whether American troops are committed to combat within three months depends on how well Saddam Hussein is "able to milk negotiations" with all of the countries that are now offering their versions of possible diplomatic solutions, Copley said.

War is imminent because Hussein cannot back down and still be accepted by the Iraqi people as their leader, he said.

According to Copley, the only way Hussein could leave Kuwait and go home with continued support by his people would be if he was chased out of Kuwait by military force.

"If he walks out of Kuwait, he might as well prepare his villa in the south of France because his people will depose him," he said.

Another factor leading to combat is that there is enough food in Iraq for its people to hold out for a long time "before they are really down to eating rats," Copley said, adding that the blockade and air embargo will not be effective fast enough to furnish the desired results.

"At some point, President Bush is going to say that all the talking is over because nothing is being resolved and Saddam will

have two weeks to get out of Kuwait," he said. " He won't leave, and we'll have to do something about it. The Air Force will try to do it by air before ground troops are sent in."

Copley said he sees no parallel between the Persian Gulf crisis and the Vietnam conflict because the United States never made full use of available technology in Vietnam, but it will against the Iraqi military forces in occupied. Kuwait.

"What we wouldn't do in Vietnam, we will do in Kuwait," he said. "We never did bomb Hanoi. We never did go in with all the technology available.

"We nibbled away, and we were nibbled to death. In the Persian Gulf, we will go in with everything down to baseball bats and dump it all in ... notto carpet-bomb Kuwait, but in a massed-front attack," he said. "The desert topography is more supportive oftha,t than were the jungles in Vietnam."

Copley said he has no reservations about American military troops being sent to Saudi Arabia.

"Although it is unfortunate that peoples' lives are being disrupted by the Persian Gulf crisis, it has to be done."

The National Geographic Society met in Denver Sept. 24-25 to further its commitment to geographic education in Colorado.

It marked the first time in the society's history that a large group of long-time members met outside of Washington, D.C. The presentation, at the Denver Center for Performing Arts' Boettcher Concert Hall, was a tribute to society members as a whole, but more specifically to the Colorado Geographic Alliance's success in improving Colorado schools' geography curriculum.

In 1986, Colorado became the first of 43 states to form such an alliance and later received funding from the National Geographic Society Education Foundation, which has totaled $300,000 to date.

The alliance began as a grass-roots at. tempt to create programs that would widen geographic education in grades K-12 and make it more fun.

The NGS Education Foundation was created to fund and provide geographic literacy programs for children.

In a recent poll, Americans scored only 57 percent on a "fairly elementary geography test," said NGS President Gilbert Grosvenor. The society will use that as a

base to show improvement in geographic education for years to come, Grosvenor said.

"We can have all the materials in the world, but I am convinced that teachers are the key to restoring geography in the nation' ~ classrooms," he said.

One training program the society supports is a four-week Alliance Institute. In June, 52 teachers from the Colorado Geographic Alliance were paid to learn about new teaching methods and geographical materials. Those teachers then held workshops for more than 700 of their colJeagues who will teach more thanl 00,000 students throughout Colorado.

The NGS Education Foundation also supplies the Colorado educational system with vast material support that ranges from maps to computer software.

As part of the presentation, the society announced its efforts to establish a $1 million fund to create a permanent endowment that would support geography education programs in Colorado.

The NGS Education Foundation pledged $500,000 contingent upon local matching funds. The Gates Foundation has pledged $200,000, with the remaining $300,000 needed by the end of fall.

Shifting the burden of the alliance's expenses to regional sources would create local funding, thus creating local educa-

The education center is based at the University of Colorado at Boulder and is responsible for the administration of programs and funding.

Rep. Paul Schauer, R-Littleton, said the NGS is trying to create a permanent fund because it is concerned with long term funding.

"It would be beneficial to the state to structure it this way because it creates local education programs that would allow us to stay much more attuned," Schauer said.

During the state's last legislative session, a $50,000 grant was included as part of the Colorado Department of Education's annual budget. That grant funds the alliance Cl and is renewable on a yearly basis.

THE METROPOLITAN

Program not exactly smoking Jill Radecki The Metropolitan For the third week in a row, no one attended the 12-step smoking cessation group offered by the Metropolitan State College of Denver Student Health Center, but the reason may have more to do with scheduling than apathy.

The lack of participation in the group is probably because MSCD is a commuter college, according to Cindy Farkas, a nurse practitioner at the h,ealth center.

"People have other things to do," Farkas said. The program's time slot is difficult to coordinate with students' schedules, she said.

The 11 a.m. to noon meetings may not be ideal for some students because of classes or the students may not be on campus every day.

The cessation program is for any smoker at any stage of quitting and is based on the same 12-step program as Alcoholics Anonymous.

The program will work on changing behavior patterns in smokers, asking students to examine their behavior and attitudes so that they're aware of why they smoke.

The nicotine addiction is stemmed by the use of Nicorette gum, a chewing gum that contains a small amount of nicotine and is chewed to ease the craving.

Aside from the group program, the health center offers a one-on-one smoking cessation program. The smoker meets with a counselor and practices the same principles

Artwork from the 'Los Three' exhibit

Gallery opens cultural exhibits Met Staff Four artists, including an MSCD art professor and a former CCD photography student, displayed their art work at Auraria during an exhibit on Friday.

More than 300 guests filled The Emmanuel Gallery during an evening reception. The main exhibit, "Los Three," is a combination of three Chicano artists' works including 30 pieces by MSCD art professor Carlos Fresquez, and artists Tony Ortega and Carlos Santistevan.

The Los Three works depict contemporary Chicano images. MSCD art professor Carlos Fresquez's painting, Desperate! Wake Up! Es un solo Mundo, has a globe at the top of the picture that covers upside down buildings that are greeted by a huge upside-down rooster. A skeleton yells, "!DESPERTATE! WAKE UP! ES UN SOLO MUNDO!!!"

Ortega's mixed-media work La Chevy

Altar is a three dimensional piece with a car seat placed next to a picture of other cars. Below a car mirror is an altar made of a candle stand with a car stereo.

MostofSantistevan's metal sculptures and bound objects are religious works of art. Lighten Up is his wall hanging of a cholo (lowrider) teen-ager lighting a cigarette.

Another exhibit, "The Day of the Dead in Oaxaca," includes a dozen photographs

by Ann Bingham, a former CCD student.

The Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos, is a Mexican holiday celebrated for the deceased on November 1 and 2.

Bingham's photos of colorful sand paintings plus private and public altars were taken during past celebrations.

Both the exhibits are colorful and educational and reveal cultural images and religious traditions.

The one-on-one cessation program is the first of its kind on a campus in the city, Farkas said, and the program has been successful. The program won first place at the Rocky Mountain Tobacco Free Challenge last year.

According to Farkas, 14 percent of the students on residential campuses smoke, although she believes the percentage of smokers at commuter campuses is slightly higher.

However, the percentage may be on a slight decline. "More people are aware of the health risk and [smoking] is not the in thing to do anymore," Farkas said.

A survey conducted by the MSCD Counseling Center in the spring of 1990 showed 21 percent of the students on Auraria Campus used tobacce. This includes cigarettes, chewing tobacco and snuff. The smoking cessation program is also geared toward students who use chewing tobacco and snuff.

Most people quit smoking temporarily six to eight times before quitting for good, Farkas said. She added that an exercise program as well as the other aspects of the program should help the student quit for good.

Farkas said she would eventually like to see the buildings on Auraria Campus smokefree with the only smoking areas outdoors.

The smoking cessation group is free and meets from 11 a.m. to noon, Tuesdays at the Counseling Center in Central Classroom

Student kicks around hobby as lethal weapon Laura Anderson The Metropolitan

At frrst glance, Metropolitan State College of Denver senior Scott McHugh seems like a typical college student. He studies, works, and crams for tests. Unlike most students, however, McHugh is considered a lethal weapon possessing four martial arts first-degree black belts - and a trophy for winning the 1989U.S. Western Open Men's Advanced Division.

And unlike the character depicted in a popular run of martial arts movies, McHugh,27, did not have to paint fences or give a 30 x 30 deck a sandpaper scrub. He simply went to watch the tournament and wound up taking home first prize in his first competition.

"I didn' t care about winning - that's why I won," he said.

McHugh 's successive wins in the martial arts competition arena dispel any notion of luck. He took fourth place in the Mile High Karate Classic, first place in the 1990 Korean Amateur Sports Association, and second in the Colorado State championships.

Along with competing, McHugl:i teaches the art to students ranging in age from six to 56. During a recent Tae Kwon Do class, he yelled out commands in Korean to seven white-robed eight to 12-year-old children.

The children moved in unison, hands punching the air, and feet snapping kicks

above their heads. Their movements were punctuated with purposeful yells as they snuck glimpses of their reflections from the mirrored wall.

McHugh, dressed in a white and black uniform, encouraged the children in English. When he barked, "kick higher" or "try harder," he seemed to invigorate them. He doesn't forget to tell them that they have done a good job. He said that it is important for the children to believe in themselves.

"It's good to be humble; I rarely have any kind of trouble. The more you train, the more you realize your own vulnerabilities."

Julie Norberg, a mother of one of the students, said of McHugh, " He disciplines the children without making them feel bad."

A student in the class, Benjamin Delanoy, 12, said, brushing back his sweat- soaked bangs, he was having fun.

McHugh plans to continue competing and training long after his undergraduate diploma wrinkles and cracks with age. Beyond his plans to attend graduate school, he wants to open his own Kung Fu school under Grand Master Chui Woo Jung - his teacher.

The Company: Your future is here. !rs RPS: Roadway Package System.

McHugh's interest in Kung Fu germinated during his time spent in the Air Force.

"A guy in my unit was taking Kung Fu classes and I started," he said with a shrug.

He said the initial appeal was primarily for self defense and, he said, "because I was small," McHugh is 5 feet 8 inches tall.

He had been groomed for a career in the military and was decorated seven times during his four years of duty in the 7th Operations Squadron of the Air Force Special Operations Force where he served as a Senior Airman. When he returned from the rank-and-file, he brought with him more than experience, he brought a yearning to get an education and to become a black belt.

Once settled at home, he registered for Scott McHugh classes at MSCD and at Jung's School of Old Martial Arts. With the determination Reflecting on his past, he said that his acstill reflected in his eyes, he earned his first complishments are manifestations of the black belt in 18 months and went on to add two mentors in his life.

OP/ED Another fine mess

Student Government lacking leadership Dave Plank About half of student government got fired last week. But you won't see anything about it here.

So far this semester in The Metropolitan, you've seen stories about all sorts of stuff. You've seen stories about chlamydia, flashers, Stevie Ray Vaughan and alleged girlfriend-beaters on campus. You've seen stories about the vagrants and criminals and perverts who call our hallowed Auraria walkways home.

It might follow, then, after all those criminals and perverts, that you would have seen a few stories about student government. But you haven't.

In fact, there haven't been any references to student government in the paper this year at all, except for a .few gratuitous slams at MSCD Student President/ genetic-experiment-gone-awry Dan Holden that have appeared in this very column.

See, The Met has been covering these bozos for a long time now, and we're all just pretty much sick to death of wasting ink and trees telling everyone about what they aren't doing. They aren't helping anyone, we figure, so they must be.motivated solely by the thrill of seeing their names in print - so this year, the staff of The Metdecided to act on that theory, and take our ball and go home. Nyah.

My personal loathing, though, for MSCD Student Government -and Holden in particular - is motivated by something a little more concrete. Just in case you were in the bathroom and missed last year's elections, here's a recap. The 1989-1990 MSCD Student President Kelly Martin decided to run for a second term with then-irritant-at-large Holden as her running

mate. Soon after her re-election, she announced that she had decided, after all, not to stick around, but to go to grad school at CU-Denver and leave Holden to tend the student government farm. After everyone got suspicious, both Martin and Holden said that it was not a set-up, just (Whoops! I forgot I applied to grad school!) an honest mistake. Then they just sort of stood around and shrugged.

Well, actually Kelly shrugged. Nobody's sure about Holden, because as far as anyone can tell, a shrug is his natural posture. Anyway, we can only assume that afterwards, they went home and laughed their asses off at how dumb everybody around them was.

Except for one thing. About two weeks before the elections, in the office I used to occupy as The Meteditor, an unbelievably foolish Martin took me into her confidence and outlined in great detail her - and Holden's - plans to lie about their intentions, get elected, and then play a nasty trick on everybody. She then told me how they would talk their way out of the mess if they got caught.

So it wasn 't an honest mistake at all, and that's how I know it. They lied, cheated and manipulated the system - a system designed to protect the student right to help run colleges - for their personal jollies.

And they might have fooled just about everybody, if Martin hadn't been so tickled with the little scheme that she absolutely had to tell me about it.

That's why I send a cheap shot Holden's way every chance I get. See, he's not just a lying, scheming twerp, he's a lying, scheming twerp who's too stupid to pick accomplices he can trust. I ask you - how can you respect a guy that dumb?

I think that once in this column I may have said that Holden was a "wanna-be Antichrist. " I should have been more clear. Yes, Dan does long to be the Anti-

christ, but the Devil won't return his phone calls.

Anyway, all those people in student government were fired last week because they weren 't showing up for senate meetings, important policy-making sessions that affect every MSCD student's college experience. So stand-up-guy Dan Holden put his foot down and canned them all, because those awful people weren't taking their responsibilities to the students seriously enough. Shame on them !

On the other hand, w ith a general like him, who can blame the foot soldiers for peeing their pants and running from the enemy?

It really is a tragedy that this is going on, because a college's student government has tremendous opportunity to positively impact students' lives. This year may be one of the most critical in Metro's history, with decisions being made regarding everything from minorities to academic standards to whether we'll finally be taking classes.in the Tivoli. These are all decisions that will affect us and the students that follow us, and the people who are supposed to be representing our interests couldn't find their asses if we gave them each a compass.

Best of all - this year, student government has been allocated $54,019 in student fees to spend just about any way they choose - including the traditional end-of-year, thanks-for-a-job-well-done Congratulations Orgy they will no doubt throw themselves at our expense.

And Dan Holden, the MSCD Student Government Circus Ringmaster who is also paid out of student fees, will walk away with $400 each month, all year.

Maybe all we can hope for is that he'll use it to get a lobotomy.

O

GUEST EDITORIAL Minority recruitment policy angers MSCD prof Item: Early in September, we in the Department of Mathematical Sciences received copies of a memo to our chair from the Dena's office instructing us in the proper selection of our recruitment committee: " ... [T]he selection process must ensure adequate representation of minorities and women. An open election process might not always achieve this goal."

Imm.: Later in the month, all of us in the School in Letters, Arts, & Sciences received a memo from the Dean himself telling us that the open election scheme we have traditionally used to select members of the School's Promotion Committee will no longer do. We will nowelectjustfourofthe nine;the Dean will appoint the other five "to ensure balance".

Item: Our president has offered departments $5000 bounties for hiring members of protected classes. He may let departments whose teaching loads do not justify it hire "ethnic" faculty. "Ethnic" doctoral candidates (other than Anglo male ethnics, naturally) who join our faculty can count on getting scholarship aid while they complete degrees.

This is all wrong.

Schemes that guarantee or promote preference of racial, sexual, or ethnic groups are nothing more and nothing less than racism, sexism, or whatever the analogous term derived from "ethnic" might be. "Racism" is a good term for all of them. And it's a very good word to use to characterize the atmosphere the administration is creating, because it evokes the images we ought to connect with that atmosphere-burning crosses of the KKK, terror in South Africa, unspeakable horror in the Third Reich. (Not that I am so fatuous as to compare us with Nazi Germany, butt hat racismin whatever form we find it-ought always to remind us.)

These prescriptions for "balance" demean and insult both those they discriminate in favor of and those they discriminate against. They suggest, on the one hand, that members of so-called "protected classes" can't compete in the academic world without an edge.

On the other hand, they suggest as well that members of not-so-protected classes can't make responsible, objective decisions about hiring, retaining, and promoting their colleagues.

Which ever class you are a member of, you have ground on which to stand outraged.

The~ Mountain ~路 Editorial Page Editor, Vincent Carroll, published, in that daily, a column dealing with some of these matters on September 21, 1990. Many of you probably read it. I recommend it to all of you; I heartily endorse everything Mr. Carroll said in that column. I wish I had written it myself.

An issue, however, with which few have dealt is the fallacy that fairness dictates "balance" on any particular committee-or even on any particular faculty. Let me take my own department as an example.

Without actually counting and classifying people, I estimate that there are about 25 full-time faculty in my department, 1O of whom belong to one or another "protected class". Our recruitment committee currently comprises four members. This year's committeeselected by open election from those who declared themselves willing to serve-has three members who are from protected classes. This or worse imbalance (all four members being from protected classes) will happen naturally about one out of six times under conditions of perfect fairness.

If the Affirmative Action program ~ stands for balance, then this composition is intolerable.

Isn't it?

What can we do about this?

I don't really know.

I know only what I must do. I must refuse to serve on any committee for which race, sex, or ethnic classification is a qualification-in any manner, or for any member. So long as the current atmosphere persists, I must take care not to participate in decisions that are tainted by that atmosphere.

The racist foundation that underlies our administration's actions disturbs me deeply. There is no other sentence that conveys my feelings. It hurts me to apply the "racist" label to well-intentioned programs designed to benefit aggrieved peoples, but I see no choice here. Racism simply begets racism ; racism never vindicates racism. The end never justifies the means.

Abraham Lincoln said it well in the context of the greater evil of slavery: "As I would not be a~. so I would not be a m..astfil. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

There is one more issue I must deal with. I am of Hispanic descent. I don't think that makes a bit of difference to this discussion, for there is no point in having this discussion with those who think my ethnic origins validate or invalidate my ideas. But it occurred to me that knowing my ethnic origins might prevent people who disagree with me from embarrassing themse~ves.

LETTERS -

Student appalled by "unmitigated whining" in sexual assault letter Editor, I cannot believe that "The Metropolitan" was willing to devote an entire half an editorial page to the unmitigated whining submitted by "Name withheld" on Sept.

29th.

In the real world, things happen with some regularity.

Along with wars, hunger and a shortage of good parking spaces, aversive events of this sort form part of the matrix of reality. As long as there continue to be two separate genders, maladaptive sexual behavior will continue to remain a factor between men and

women.

Should a lady push a deviate away when faced with unwelcome sexual advances? By all means, kick, scream, yell, raise a fuss, stand up for your rights as an individual -- but to expect me to read a twelve paragraph account of the incident containing no small amount of introspective drivel about one person's selfperception -- Please, give me a break.

Steven Shelton MSCD student

!his tradition, which most people perceive as harmless, speaks loudly on the condition of justice, humanity and equality in Amerjca today. To glorify Columbus is to justify to future generations, the stealing of another's property, committing genocide against the people who originally owned it and then glorifying the people who were actually mere butchers and thieves.

Come stand in solidarity with the indigenous people of the Americas, Oct. 6, 9 a.m. on the west steps of the Capitol, and speak the truth about Columbus Day.

Thomas Mestnik MSCD student

U.S. should leave Middle East alone Editor, The U.S. invasion of the Middle East is the largest U.S. military aggression since the Vietnam War. If Mr. Bush decides to strike Iraq, as his recent moves to install troops in Islamic Saudi Arabia continue to suggest, the lives of millions of people in the region will be at risk.

Not only would Israel be drawn into the conflict, we would have a major bloodbath in the making with chemical, biological and nuclear weapons poised and

Editor, . I have never heard of college students having to pay for parking everyday until I moved here. The cheapest fine (sic) I have found is a dollar and twentyfive cents, but you always have to have five quarters.

I know these fines( sic) are used for various things on campus but that is what we pay tuition and fees for. I am an out-of-state student and I pay enough to go to school up here much less pay for parkirrg everyday. I think the campus should just make us buy parking stickers and then charge us ten to fifteen dollars a month to park. This way the campus could still get money from parking, but make it more convenient for students like me.

Jason Swor MSCD Student

Columbus Day perpetuates misplaced heroism Editor, On Saturday morning, Oct. 6, a parade glorifying Columbus and all of his achievements shall march through downtown.

At the same time, a gathering of a different sort shall be happening on the west steps of the Capitol Building.

This group shall not be gathered to glorify, but rather to bring to light the truth about Columbus Day. Many Americans know that Columbus did not actually discover America and quite a few realize that he was not the heroic character that most history books portray him to be. Yet the celebrating of Columbus Day continues.

Parking irritates student

For the security and survival of American Gls, Israeli citizens and millions of Arab peoples in the region, there is no other alternative than for the U.S. to get out of the Middle East now.

Restaurant offers rustic atmosphere, plentiful servings Dennis C. Weidanz

The Metropolitan

If you 're the kind of person who really enjoys eating and your tastes tend to fall into the meat-and-potatoes category, there is a great restaurant close to campus. Just remember to bring your appetite, and be prepared to have a good time.

The Hoffbrau, at 1301 S. Sante Fe Drive,

.::

is just a couple of blocks south of Burger King, and is just a short walk from campus.

If you're looking for an alternative to lunch in the Student Union cafeteria, or someplace different to go on a date, this is the place to go.

When you enter the Hoffbrau, you will notice two things right away: 1. The aroma. The place smells so good that you may order something to eat even if you're not hungry, and if you are hungry, you will be happy to know that

whatever you ordered won't take long to get to you.

2. The no-nonsense feel of the place. The Hoffbrau has a large bar with plenty to choose from, from mixed drinks to many brands of domestic and imported beers.

The Hoffbrau' s decor is utilitarian and solid, but not institutional or industrial. It is in an old building, built when high ceilings and plenty of dark wood were popular, and it has an atmosphere that is warm and comfortable. The many booths are comfort-

The walls of the Hoffbrau could keep you occupied for a whole afternoon. Old license plates cover one section, while photos of old .

Denver fill another. Originals or reproductions of antique posters can be seen, and then there's the graffiti. It is everywhere and is in good taste. Most are salutations from outof-town visitors, and there are a few pictures from obviously self-taught artists.

But, of course, you've come for the food.

Despite the name, the Hoffbrau doesn't serve schnitzel or wurst or kraut, but it has an extensive variety of steaks and specializes in Mexican food. If you want a burger or sandwich, the menu has quite a few to choose from.

The Hoffbrau folks probably don't cotton too much to people on tofu diets whose idea of protein has something to do with soybeans. Their servings are generous, verging on huge, so if you plan on eating dinner here, you had better skip that midafternoon snack. You're going to need all the room you'. ve got. And it's delicious.

THEATER

Student production falls short of Broadway legacy Dennis C. Weidanz The Metropolitan

·-

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the hit Broadway play, "The Fantasticks." It opened at the Sullivan Street Playhouse in New York in 1960, and has been running ever since. A musical production, this play combines elements of "Romeo and Juliet" (with a happy ending) with classic melodrama, complete with the mustachioed villain, the naive young girl, and the lover who saves the day. It is straightforward, and lends itself to a wide variety of set designs and artistic interpretations.

The CU-Denver theater arts department opens its 1990-91 season with "The Fantasticks." It employs the talents of director Laura Cuetara, set designer Kent Homchick, and musical director David Ackerman.

After 30 years on Broadway, it is safe to say there is something intrinsically appealing about ''The F:antasticks." The musical score certainly produced a memorable tune (''Try to remember the kind of September... "), and the boy-meets-girl, boy-losesgirl, boy-redeems- himself-and-gets-girlback-formulahas alway~ worked. But unless you've seen another production of "The Fantasticks" (hopefully with professional

actors), you probably wouldn 't have the faintest clue why this show has been so successful.

Kent Homchick's set design is basic, if not Spartan, and seems to be as solid as a rock. Room 278 is a "big black box" in the Arts Building, and is just that - a huge black room for a set designer to tum into a theater and stage, seating and all. Homchick, a CU-D faculty member, has designed a two-tiered, three-quarter round seating area that merges into the stage area with balcony.

A staircase and fire pole allow actors to move up and down as the scene dictates. The orchestra performs unseen behind a multitextured curtain proclaiming " The Fantasticks" at the back of the stage. Altogether, an effective set.

The show itself is another matter. Chalk it up to opening-night jitters or some other unquantifiable gremlin of theater, but the show lacked punch. The singers couldn't reach all of their notes, the dialogue, at times, seemed stilted, and overall the show didn't have that "spark" that comes with a smooth production.

Take El Gallo ("El Guy-o," he will tell you), played by Paul Curran, for instance.

He introduces the show, sort of an emcee, and sings the opening number ("Try to Remember...") , but without conviction. His musical range didn't cover the music, and the energy of the song did nothing to charge

the atmosphere of the theater and say, "we 're here to have a heck of a good time."

The girl, played by Peg Doyle, and the boy, played by Patrick Bradford, did better.

Doyle's voice is excellent for theater, both speaking and singing, although she, too, missed some of the lower notes. She was believable as a 16-year-old, giggles and all.

Bradford's musical score was, fortunately, in his range, and he sang and acted' the part of the young romantic to good effect.

The young lovers' fathers, played by George Keros (his) and Nick Guida (hers), are apparently old hands at acting. Not only are they actually older than the rest of the cast (which makes sense, they're supposed to be older), but they act with authority.

Their dance routines together could be a little more natural and not so jerky, maybe, but these actors did. a fair job.

Comic relief was provided by Mark Fossey and David W. Hasenbalg, as a couple of somewhat-inept hams hired by El Gallo to do some dirty work on the young couple.

If you can underact overacting, they did it, but you have to give them credit for trying.

Especially.good for a bitpartwasHasenbalg as a dumb cowboy. He must have met a few.

Probably the most mis-directed character in the show is identified as "The Mute,"

played by Mary Barnes. This character (or non-character; she doesn 't play a person) performs the chores variously as a wall, moving a baton up and down as the "wall" is spoken over, a prop handler, and bough shaker and rain/snow provider. Although she is dressed in top hat and tails, which puts her out of sync with the other characters, her movements are too fluid and personal. The character could have been better played as a mime, with whiteface (optional) and the well-defined movements of the mime's art.

The "orchestra" was first-rate. Pianist Jan Wagner, bassistBobFossandJimMoore on percussion, all Jed by David Ackerman, sounded like a dozen or more musicians.

Although they weren't seen, they certainly were heard. They created most of the feeling for the show. They deserve as much credit as the cast Look forward to seeing this show. If you've never heard of it, you've been living in the Dark Ages. If you've seen it before, see a student production now. Just remember, it's a student production, and not Broadway. They've got a ways to go yet.

"The Fantasticks" runs Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays through Oct 13. Students and seniors $2.50, general admission 0 $5.00.

COUNSELOR CORNER MSCD COUNSELING CENTER Dear Doc, I work in an office in which there are several people working together, and there always seems to be a Jot of tension. There is one conflict situation after another and it gets very unpleasant at times. Is there anything I can do to improve the situation?

Signed, Sorta Scared

TIVOLI BREWERY 9th off Auraria Parkway

Dear Sorta Scared, First, it might be helpful to realize that conflict is not necessarily bad. By working through conflict we often learn more about ourselves and the others who are involved.

Also, better decisions often get made as a

result of conflicting opinions being expressed than when everyone agrees.

If the conflict is directed at you personally in the form of aggressive statements, there are some ways of dealing with that.

1. Ask the person to give you specific examples of what you did or said that irritated them.

2. Address the factual issues without responding to the emotional overlay.

3. Try to avoid personalizing the issue in your response.

In close office situations, conflict usually needs to be confronted directly before it spoils the attitude of the entire office. When confronted, however, it is important to be specific and to avoid bringing up past conflicts and hostilities.

After the problem has been confronted~

try to steer the parties involved into generat-

ing some possible solutions of their own.

While some of these need to be serious, of few silly or outrageous suggestions can relieve the tension and lighten the mood. Then a decision needs to be made about the best of the suggested solutions, understanding that compromises will have to be made at this point. Remember, compromise does not mean "you lose."

It's also important to keep in mind that some disagreement among people is inevitable, and just agreeing to disagree on opinions and interpretations may sometimes be the only solution.

Coming this Christmas, new from Remington, the Victor Kiam doll, you wind it up and it blames everyone else.

Victor Kiam, the man who made the saying, "cuts closer than a blade or your money back," the man who owns Remington and the New England Patriots. ,... Victor Kiam, a man who uses a football term in his everyday life: the pass. In Kiam' s case, he passes the buck.

Victor Kiam, a man who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions, a man who, instead, points his finger and blames everyone else when something goes wrong. ' A couple of weeks ago, the New England Patriots became embroiled in an ugly controversy.

Several Patriot players allegedly sexually harassed a female reporter from the "Boston Herald," Lisa Olson, in the locker room after a game.

The complete story will continue to unfold, however the social ramifications have already surfaced and they're endless.

Females were granted access into men's Locker rooms in the mid- l 970s and their acceptance seemed to have been firmly en-

Finger pointing is childish路, the blame lies in the mirror trenched; now this repulsive incident occurs and it makes you wonder.

The main stories behind all of this are the social ramifications and the personal ordeal suffered by Olson, but there's an underlying story to this incident as well - his name is Victor Kiam.

After Olson accused the Patriot players of sexual harassment, Kiam was quoted as calling Olson a "classic bitch." Kiam later said he was mis-quoted and he never used the word "bitch." Other questionable statements were attributed to Kiam concerning the incident. Kiam then apologized to Olson.

On Sunday, Kiam again apologized, making the statement on national TV. He also took out full-page ads in Boston and New York newspapers offering his apologies to Olson.

Kiam promised that there will be "mammoth changes" in the Patriot's management-because of the incident. But what about Kiam?

Kiam stands on a pedestal that he placed himself on, and picks out scapegoats Like an auctioneer spotting buyers.

It's time for Victor Kiam to take responsibility for his own actions, to grow up and admit that he is at least partly to blame. His

statements escalated the ugliness of this ing the song and dance routine, trying to already sick incident, but he refuses to look salvage the public relations nightmare that he created. in the mirror and see one of the culprits.

Yes, Kiam apologized. But he did so by Kiam said he was misled by his own blaming everyone else. Kiam should be held people, but how far could he have been led accountable, maybe the purposed boycott astray to trivialize such an ugly incident. will make Kiam realize that he can't say Maybe a change in management is necessary, a l;larsh penalty against the players anything he wants and tlien pick out scapeinvolved definitely,. and a finger should be goats to save his own precious butt.

In the next few days and weeks, Kiam pointed right between the eyes of Victor will be making more public appearances Kiam as well.

The toys public that he's even more of a victim than he has are the Patriots and Remington, he's Lisa Olson. Don't buy it. Kiam poured gas the boss, and he can do whatever he pleases on this ugly incident that was already enand it looks like he pleases to pick out gulfed in flames and he should be the one who pays. So don' t buy anything he says or scapegoats.

MSCD Club Sports

From football to dancing there's something for everyone Michael Stephens The Metropolitan

'

I'm sure you've all heard of Clup Med, but here at Metropolitan State College of Denver, there's something that could be called Club Met. The MSCD Club Sports Program offers students, faculty and staff a variety of sports and activities to participate and compete in at an organized level.

Club Sports at MSCD are initiated and organized by students with the assistance of the Campus Recreation Department. Some Club Sport teams practice on a daily basis and participate in intercollegiate competitions, while others are more recreational in nature.

Club Sports are designed to give students "the chance to engage in extra-curricular activities on anon-varsity level," Club Sports Program Manager Dennis Bryan said.

MSCD's Club Sports lacks funding, Bryan said, but not competitiveness.

"As far as finances are concerned, we 're way below other schools mainly because we're a commuter school," he said. "But as far as competition is concerned, were equal - if not better."

Eight clubs are currently active: football, rugby, lacrosse, Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi, volleyball, dance and cheerleading.

The Football Club practices and competes mainly in the fall with othe~ schools in the Rocky Mountain region, and is full contact.

The club "gives people the chance to play that they normally wouldn't have," Lee

Adkins, Football Club President, said.

According to Adkins, the talent level varies greatly among the 40 football play- ers, from good to bad, but everybody plays.

"These guys are really dedicated because there are no scholarships," Adkins said.

"They pay to play," In four years, the Roadrunners have never had a losing season.

The 'Runners dropped a game last weekend to the Air Force Prep team, 34-29. Their record now stands at 3-2 this season.

The Rugby Club is a competitive club and a member of both the regional and national Rugby Union. The club practices during the fall and spring semesters.

The Lacrosse Club competes on an intercollegiate level in tournaments in the Rocky Mountain region. The club practices during the fall and spring semesters.

The Tae Kwon Do Club emphasizes workout and instruction during its meetings, and some members qualify and compete in both local and national tournaments. The club practices during the fall and spring semesters.

Kimberly Palmer The Metropolitan The Metropolitan State College of Denver women's volleyball team defeated the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs in three straight games Sept. 30, chalking up a conference victory.

The Roadrunners struggled early, and CU-Colorado Springs took a 6-0 lead. But behind strong serving and blocking, the ' Runners overcame a 14-6 deficit and won the first game 16-14. • The 'Runners dominated the second

game, never relinquishing the lead, and won 15-4.

The third game proved to be more difficult. MSCD took an early lead, but CUColorado Springs came back to take the lead at 13-11. On three consecutive service winners by j unior Jennie Scott, MSCD took a 14-13 lead. The 'Runners held on to win 16- 14.

Sophomore Dana Stright added 15 kills throughout the three games to aid the MSCD offense.

Sophomore Diane Dibble finished the match with five service aces, and the 'Runners racked up 11 blocks at the net. CU-

Colorado Springs only compiled four blocks in the entire match.

Although MSCD earned the win and advanced its record to 9-7, Head Coach Rhonda McMullen wasn't thrilled with the victory.

"We' re still struggling," she said. "I thought we'd be there by now, and we're not. Fortunately, they got ittogether enough to win."

The team travels to Mesa State College in Grand Junction Oct. 6, to play both Colorado School of Mines and Mesa State. Oct. 9, the 'Runners once again meet CU-Colorado Springs in Colorado Springs.

1990-91 MSCD men's basketball schedule In 1989-90 the Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team finished with a 28-4 record and a final regular season rankingofNo.3 . Next month, MSCD will begin the 1990-91 season.

Greg Smith, assistant athletic director for MSCD sports, believes the early season will prepare the Roadrunners for the conference schedule.

"The game against the Mexican National Team will give us a chance to evaluate ourselves," Smith said.

This year, the ' Runners will make alongdistance road trip to Hawaii in January.

Smith said the Hawaii trip will take the place of trips to Alaska, Seattle and Illinois the 'Runners made last season.
